What Inspired Beyonce's Latest Leotard Craze? You've Got To See This!

Who are we mere mortals to understand the inspiration of a true artiste? Take Beyonce's latest fashion obsession, the leotard. As Glamour.com's fearless leader, Editorial Director Anne Sachs, puts it: "Why do I now think it's okay to wear a leotard out to a club? I don't know why. But I do!" Since Sasha Fierce debuted her one-piece wonder in the "Single Ladies" video, she's been rocking them all over town.

We haven't seen this many leotards since Mary Lou Retton stole America's hearts in the 1984 Olympics! Justin Timberlake even got into the spirit by donning his own 'tard and tights to pay homage to Mrs. Jay-Z on Saturday Night Live. But "Single Ladies" is by far B's most memorable leotard moment, and here's the best part: It was inspired by...this dance number, choreographed by the famously flamboyant Bob Fosse (Mr. Jazz Hands himself) and starring...his wife! She's the principle dancer in the Beyonce role in the middle. Watch and laugh, ladies!

Okay, so they might be wearing leisure suits instead of leotards but how hard are you laughing right now? Can't you just see Beyonce watching this in front of her computer and saying "I love it! Let's do it, but with *Flashdance *as wardrobe inspiration instead!"? Watch the "Single Ladies" video below and see how they compare...

What do you guys think of Beyonce's leotard obsession? Is this one fashion bandwagon you're not too eager to hop on? And do you love Bob Fosse's "Mexican Breakfast" as much as I do??
